General Luo is Ill

Sometimes, accidents happen quite suddenly.

For reasons unknown, Luo Bai abruptly became bedridden.

Long Miaoming heard the sound of Luo Bai coughing from outside the door.

He coughed very violently.

“Beautiful Brother…”

Long Miaoming brought the medicine to Luo Bai’s side, looking at the weakened figure on the bed.

Long Miaoming bit her lip hard, but tears still flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.

Luo Bai smiled at Long Miaoming.

“Silly girl, why are you crying? Are birth, aging, illness, and death not all within the realm of reason?”

“But, but Beautiful Brother is still so young.”

Long Miaoming took a deep breath to calm her emotions. She picked up the porridge and blew on it, intending to feed Luo Bai, but before she could bring it to him, she heard a voice from outside.

“Big Brother! Big Brother, I have brought the divine doctor from the Northern Border!”

Sun Ziyue ran in, looking completely out of breath.

The Northern Border was hundreds of miles away; it must have been difficult for him to make the round trip in two days and one night.

“Please, bring him in.”

Luo Bai could not stand up, so he could only speak from where he lay.

In a short while, a man with a very ordinary and unremarkable appearance walked in quickly.

“This lowly one greets Commander Luo.”

The divine doctor bowed to Luo Bai.

“There is no need for such formality, Doctor,” Luo Bai said.

Long Miaoming consciously pulled Sun Ziyue out of the room.

“Hey, Sister Miaoming, what are you doing? I wanted to see how the illness is treated!”

Long Miaoming rolled her eyes. If this guy stayed, it would be a miracle if Beautiful Brother’s illness could be cured.

Once the two had left, the divine doctor smiled.

“Commander Luo, this old man shall begin the diagnosis.”

Luo Bai nodded.

“Doctor…” Luo Bai suddenly spoke. “Could you promise me one thing?”

“Please speak, Commander.”

Luo Bai laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly.

“Actually, it is not a major matter. I only hope that after your diagnosis, you will not inform others of this affair…”

“Especially, do not tell my sister.”

The divine doctor nodded with some admiration. He had seen such requests before, but usually, those who made them were people who viewed life and death with indifference.

For someone as young as Luo Bai to be so indifferent to his own end was rare.

“Then, Commander, I shall begin.”

Luo Bai nodded.

An afternoon passed. When the divine doctor left the room, he saw Sun Ziyue and Long Miaoming squatting by the door.

Sun Ziyue had already fallen asleep leaning against the doorframe.

One could not blame him; after all, to fetch the doctor for Luo Bai, he had not closed his eyes for two days and one night.

Long Miaoming hurriedly came forward.

“Doctor, Beautiful Brother’s illness…”

“Commander Luo’s illness…”

The divine doctor’s face showed a hint of helplessness, but because of the promise he had just made to Luo Bai, it was difficult for him to speak.

“What is it? Please, just say it!”

The divine doctor looked at Long Miaoming, whose tears were about to fall, then looked back at Luo Bai, who was drifting off into a light sleep.

In the end, his heart softened.

“Actually, Commander Luo…”

“Ziyue! See the doctor out. Miaoming, come here.”

Before the divine doctor could finish his sentence, Luo Bai had woken up at some point.

He looked at the doctor with an expressionless face.

Though he showed no emotion, the doctor could still see a trace of anger in Luo Bai’s eyes.

Long Miaoming also saw Luo Bai.

Although she desperately wanted to know the state of his health, she did not dare to disobey his words.

Sun Ziyue was also woken up. After answering, he led the divine doctor away.

But even if the doctor said nothing, Long Miaoming was still incredibly worried.

“Beautiful Brother, you really…”

“It is nothing.”

Luo Bai smiled and patted Long Miaoming’s small head.

After hesitating for a short moment, he spoke again.

“Miaoming, if… I mean if I am no longer here, you should go back home.”

Long Miaoming looked at Luo Bai in a daze.

“Your home is not in White River City, but in the White River itself, is it not?” Luo Bai said.

Long Miaoming suddenly fell silent, keeping her head lowered.

“Miaoming…”

“Liar! You big liar!”

Long Miaoming suddenly jumped away, staring at Luo Bai with red eyes. She then turned and ran out, refusing to listen to Luo Bai calling out behind her.

“Sir, have something to eat.”

Sun Ziyue looked at the divine doctor with some helplessness and handed him a piece of dry rations.

“My Big Brother is ill; you really shouldn’t have disclosed anything to Sister Miaoming.”

The divine doctor could only smile bitterly now.

A moment of soft-heartedness had led to this outcome.

“Alright, Sir. Let’s walk a bit further; we will find an inn to have a good rest before continuing,” Sun Ziyue said.

When they came, they were in a rush and hurried back to headquarters, but now they were not in such a hurry.

Sun Ziyue had to find a place to sleep, or his energy would not keep up.

The divine doctor could only nod.

Before he could speak, a massive shadow from the sky enveloped the two of them.

Before Sun Ziyue could even look up, a furious roar knocked him unconscious. A massive dragon shadow swept across the ground, grabbing the divine doctor, who had also been stunned.

After staying with the human race for so long, even Long Miaoming had almost forgotten.

She was not a weak human girl; she was a dragon, a dragon that soared above the nine heavens and churned ten thousand miles of rivers and seas.

Since you are unwilling to tell me, I can find out for myself.

Until now, Long Miaoming finally realized it.

She had been far too passive before. Luo Bai was just a human; since she liked him, she would keep him. No one could take him away!

The divine doctor slowly opened his eyes and looked at the strange environment before him.

He only remembered being knocked unconscious by something.

And then, he had ended up here.

He looked around; they were in the middle of nowhere, and there were many wolves in the surrounding area.

The divine doctor was startled.

He immediately wanted to find a place to hide.

But he suddenly noticed that those wolves were only watching him from a distance. Although their eyes gleamed with ferocity, they did not step forward.

“You are awake.”

A somewhat cold voice drifted down from above.

The divine doctor instinctively looked up. Was it not the Long Miaoming he had just seen earlier?

Only now, Long Miaoming was no longer concealing herself.

The dragon horns on her head and her sharp, golden dragon pupils all showcased her supremely noble identity.

Sitting on the branch like that, she possessed an aura of majesty without even being angry.

Those wild beasts were also arranged by Long Miaoming to prevent him from escaping. The reason they did not dare to approach was entirely due to the pressure of her dragon prestige.

The divine doctor’s mouth fell open in shock.

This was the first time in his life he had ever seen a true dragon.

“This lowly citizen greets the Divine Dragon Lord.”

The divine doctor hurriedly knelt and performed a ritual salute.

But Long Miaoming had no intention of returning the gesture. She jumped down from the tree and walked in front of him.

“Tell me everything you know about Beautiful Brother’s illness.”
